When I was little, my sister would get in trouble and have to stand in the corner…so I would purposely get in trouble to stand beside her. My parents love to tell the story!

As the youngest of 5 kids, I’ve got lots of sibling woes… Like how mad my brother would get with me when I read his journal!

my sis and I used to REALLY go at it… esp in the summertime when we were bored. But now? We’re BEST FRIENDS. I love my sis more than words.

Growing up, my brother and sister would always gang up on me. Once, they took the heads off my Barbie’s, melted them on a light bulb and put them in the snow to freeze. So evil! Luckily they grew out of that stage, and we’re now all really close!

What a great idea for a story. We go through a lot of ‘almost’ in our house, especially with my 2yo and her older 5yo brother (wasn’t so much of an issue with my oldest and middle child).

My son is a daredevil and my youngest likes to follow in his footsteps: ‘almost’ being able to ride her brother’s scooter, ‘almost’ being able to climb up the slide to the top, ‘almost’ breaking her arm when she fell off the slide like her brother did. At what age do they grow out of the ‘almost’ stage?

Cheers

I was the oldest and I’m afraid I bullied my brother into doing whatever I wanted. Seeing the same tendencies in my daughter with her little brother now. This book would be for him, poor little guy. He really wants to be able to do everything his big sister can do.

My younger siblings are the ones with the horror stories I’m afraid! I was the oldest of 4 and I made sure everyone knew it! Of course, I also had the most responsibility and my parents put me in charge of the others when they weren’t there….which contributed to a tyrannical reign.

This book looks like fun and a great peek into the mind of the younger sibling!

My brother was 14 years older than me; my sister 10 years older! Of course, I always wanted to tag along with them and their friends. Both of them got very good grades; especially, my brother. I found myself not even wanting to try in school because I knew I could never compete with their grades. I also see the “sibling woes”
between my sons! It works both ways. Such an adorable book. Please include me in your drawing.
Many thanks, Cindi
